21.Os
22.Sh NAME
23.Nm mpii
24.Nd LSI Logic Fusion-MPT Message Passing Interface II
25.Sh SYNOPSIS
26.Cd "mpii* at pci? dev ? function ?"
27.Sh DESCRIPTION
28The
29.Nm
30driver provides support for storage controllers using the
31LSI Logic Fusion-MPT Message Passing Interface II
32family of chipsets:
33.Pp
34.Bl -dash -offset indent -compact
35.It
36LSISAS2004,
37LSISAS2008
38.El
39.Pp
40These chipsets can be found on the following controllers:
41.Pp
42.Bl -dash -offset indent -compact
43.It
44Dell PERC H200
45.It
46LSI SAS 9200-8e, SAS 9211-4i, SAS 9211-8i
47.El
48.Pp
49Some models of these controllers have varying degrees of support for RAID 0
50and RAID 1.
51.Pp
52.Nm
53supports monitoring of the logical disks in the controller through the
54.Xr bioctl 8
55and
56.Xr envstat 8
57commands.
58.Sh EVENTS
59The
60.Nm
61driver is able to send events to
62.Xr powerd 8
63if a logical drive in the controller is not online.
64The
65.Em state-changed
66event will be sent to the
67.Pa /etc/powerd/scripts/sensor_drive
68script when such condition happens.

77.Sh HISTORY
78The
79.Nm
80driver first appeared in
81.Ox 4.7 .
82.Sh AUTHORS
83.An -nosplit
84The
85.Nm
86driver was written by
87.An James Giannoules
88and
89.An Mike Belopuhov .
90.Sh BUGS
91The chips supported by
92.Nm
93do not use a SCSI-like identifier.
94Instead they use an opaque ID and leave discovery order up to the operating
95system.
96The code to handle this is currently not implemented and therefore it is not a
97good idea to run this driver on a multi-boot machine or with more than 1 drive.
